Miguel Vargas' X-Rays Come Back Clean, Sitting Out on Wednesday
Chicago White Sox manager Will Venable told White Sox reporter Brooke Fletcher that third baseman Miguel Vargas' (hand) X-rays came back negative, but he will not be in the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest in Seattle against the Mariners. Vargas is receiving treatment and could potentially be available off the bench for a pinch-hit situation. Shortstop Colson Montgomery will shift over to the hot corner and bat cleanup, with Luisangel Acuna playing the 6 and hitting in the nine-hole on Wednesday against Mariners right-hander Emerson Hancock. Vargas was hit by a pitch on his hand during Tuesday's victory at T-Mobile Park, and he was able to stay in the game. However, he's probably a little sore, and Venable noted that the starting third baseman was due for a day off anyway. The 26-year-old Cuban can be an asset in deep-mixed fantasy leagues for his power production. Vargas is currently hitting .237 (40-for-169) with 11 homers, 29 RBI, seven steals, and 35 runs scored in his first 47 games across 206 plate appearances in 2026.
